INTRODUCTION
This article is a direct follow-up to
This article therefore looks at the effects of boundaries (soil, buildings, obstacles, etc.) on acoustic propagation, particularly in urban environments, focusing on the physical phenomena involved, irrespective of the sound sources present: reflection, diffraction and scattering by building elements and street clutter, absorption by treated or vegetated surfaces, etc. Some of these physical phenomena have already been partially addressed in the article
